In the southern part of the New World, Cabral was located in the "Chaotic Zone" north of Shilius's vice king district.
This area was rich in natural resources and magic elements were active. Whether it was the worldly minerals, forestry resources, or many magical materials needed by the supernatural world, they were all abundant.
However, before it was a treasure trove, this place was even more famous for its mix of good and bad!
Colonies of civilized countries, a large number of indigenous survivors of destroyed countries, colonial slaves, sorcerers, and various supernatural forces clashed with each other. This was currently the most complicated place in the entire New World.
The blind spot of order, the paradise of chaos.
Even Shilius, who had colonized most of this place, had tried to take over this rich land several times, but failed every time.
In the depths of the Chaotic Zone, the Deadwood Swamp was full of danger.
A towering black tower was faintly discernible in the oddly colored mist. The outer walls of the tower were like solidified black wax, sealing the human faces inside. If one were closer, they could even hear the terrifying cries.
This was a forbidden area for all intelligent creatures within a hundred kilometers. At the same time, it was also the headquarters of the "School of Curses", a place that even the Dark Sorcerers would turn pale at the mention of.
In an office that could be compared to the outside world, it could be said to be filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers.
Although he had lost a student and a fourth-level ship, the bald Sorcerer Harvey had saved his life. Although he was resentful, he believed that as long as he was alive, he would be able to make a comeback sooner or later.
At this moment, he was slightly bowing to a skinny old man and reporting the process of this trip.
"… Originally, I wanted to easily take down the White Knight and his Dragon Riders pirates.
Then, I used this merit to exchange for the "Cursed Object" Tavernier's blue diamond from the new vice king of Shilius, who was furious with the White Knight. At the same time, I could also gain the friendship of Lieutenant General Adenis Auston.
I didn't expect this legendary pirate to hide so well. In the end, all my efforts were in vain.
No wonder he always wears a mask. Maybe his true identity is a big shot on the surface. "
The skinny old man with an extremely ordinary appearance raised his eyelids from behind the desk. There was no sadness or joy in his eyes.
"Although I paid a price this time, being able to discover the White Knight's information in advance is much better than being unprepared and suffering a big loss later.
Most of the casualties were Bradley's men.
Until we fully understand the White Knight's background, no matter what the Shilius do, don't bother him for now.
It just so happens that Philip II is about to marry the princess of the Hapsburg family and will soon be crowned as emperor. The Eternal Fire's new sect, the Order of Kindling, is also about to be established. It shouldn't be peaceful there. Go to Shilius to support Andon. "
The bald Magus bowed deeply. He could only obey this great Magus who was only one step away from becoming the Crown.
"As you command, Your Excellency!"
.....
In the command room of the fleet, Anita's personal office.
"Come on, Beth, catch."
Ah woo! Squeak squeak …
The snow-white owl flapped its wings and flew up, catching the fresh fish that Anita threw over.
"It's so delicious! Thank you, Big Sister!"
It had been a few days since the encirclement and counter-encirclement and suppression campaign ended.
As the deputy commander of the privateer fleet, Anita had taken over the fleet when Elvin was not around.
And in Hatraffa Harbor, only Bird Besmir knew of the relationship between the Emerald Light and his master.
While the other pirate officers were in awe of the deputy commander, Beth had already gained the right to call her "Big Sister's Lord".
Beth, who had been exploited by Elvin as a child laborer in the past few years, had suddenly become a serf and received a completely different treatment from Anita.
However, in Anita's eyes, there was no difference between a Familiar and an ordinary animal. She had never raised an owl before, and now she might, perhaps, probably, be raising it like a cat or a dog.
Beth's face was filled with joy, and it obviously did not mind at all.
If Elvin saw this scene, he would definitely express his sincere "care" as a master.
"Beth, you have a very bad conscience. How dare you steal Big Sister's love and the food storage work from me? Die, die, die!"
Perhaps Beth also had something to say.
"When you need me, it's Sweetie. After that, it's Mrs. Niu. Boss, stop fooling around. Big Sister's embrace is still the warmest!"
After the war, the business of the pirate crew was back on track. With Beth's help, Anita had almost straightened out all aspects of the "Dragon Knights".
For the crew members, the famous "Emerald Light" in the Golden Ocean had become their deputy commander. Everyone in the pirate crew was as happy as if they had bought the original shares of a Fortune 500 company. They were even singing in their sleep.
Moreover, the addition of six pirate ships and nearly a thousand pirates had boosted the strength of the "Dragon Knights" again. They were even more confident when they went out for robberies.
This was because the direct subordinates of the pirate kings were about the same level. Of course, "Oathbreaker" Bradley, who had absorbed a large number of free pirates with the support of Shilius, was not included.
Coupled with the unfathomable strength of this great Knight and their captain, it was not impossible for them to compete for the position of pirate king in the Golden Ocean.
In addition.
"Port Hatraffa" had been completely exposed. It could even be said that there was no one in the pirate community who did not know about it. However, with a great Knight overseeing it, just like the other two pirate kings' bases, no one dared to cause trouble.
Anita's style was obviously different from Elvin's. Although she was a woman, her style was more unyielding than Elvin's. Hiding was not a long-term solution. As a major force, it was only a matter of time before they stepped onto the stage.
Moreover, although it was located in the Golden Ocean, Port Hatraffa was only half a day's journey from the Long Sail Territory. It was also not far from Faletis's naval base, "Dearborn Castle."
The deterrence of the kingdom was enough to block the power of a quasi-legendary for them.
With two third-order pirates overseeing it, the pirate crew was no longer as weak as before. Especially after this counterattack, even if the location of "Port Hatraffa" was made public, it would still be a forbidden area for the enemy.
Moreover, even if the "Morning Star", which was now equipped with the lucky gold coin, was not a quasi-legendary, the "heavy-armored cruiser" was already known to be invincible in one-on-one combat among conventional warships. It also had the demeanor of a quasi-legendary.
Even in the face of supernormal power, it was not completely defenseless.
"Besse, gather intelligence. Before Elvin returns, let's see if we can do something big again!"
.....
The Southern Continent.
In the middle of the sea, a thick fog pervaded.
"Lord Commander, I've arrived."
Major-General Marz wrote a line of red words on an oval-shaped leaf.
After receiving a response, the "Long-Snouted Mermaid" slowly sailed into the "fog of war" summoned by a divine spell. After a period of close combat, they had clearly realized that the alliance possessed unknown detection abilities and had made targeted arrangements.
The leaves of the hyacinth grass used for instant communication were hard to come by outside, but to Cilius, it was only a special spiritual material. The priests of the "Eternal Fire" were also magic-type jobs that could explore the Spirit World.
In order to facilitate cooperation between the quasi-legends, each captain was equipped with two leaves.
After the "Long-Snouted Mermaid" entered the fog, the "Storm Horn", which had been tangling with it endlessly, slowly retreated and joined up with the other two quasi-legendary warships that were chasing after their respective opponents.
In the fog, the other two quasi-legendary warships were already waiting here.
"I don't know where the Tulip Family got a quasi-legendary warship from, but it has disrupted the strategic deployment of the kingdom. The situation has to return to its original trajectory.
You already know the plan. For the victory of the kingdom and the war, the two of you will need to give it your all. It might be dangerous, but it's the fastest way to achieve victory! "
"I have no problem."
"I have no problem either."
As time passed, the alliance's support fleet approached bit by bit.
The officers of Cilius, led by Griffith, were getting more and more impatient. They had to find an opportunity to fight before the support fleet arrived and destroy the alliance fleet stationed in the Southern Continent in advance.
Even if it was not to prevent the two sides from joining up, just the fact that the time was too long and the other countries could see Cilius's powerlessness was unpredictable.
On the other hand, the alliance was the exact opposite. They could not wait to drag on like this and let Cilius retreat.
At the end of the day, the alliance was not ready for an all-out war with Cilius. The various preparations were not in place, and even if they defeated Cilius, they might not be able to obtain the greatest benefits.
"Patriarch Wilberst, everyone is here. Let's begin."
Griffith nodded to a patriarch beside him. The latter took a step forward and took out a sheepskin scroll that emitted a faint warmth.
"'Eternal Fire', the most divine and holy …"
Amidst the solemn prayer, a sacred red light enveloped the three quasi-legendary warships.
A moment later, the three warships left the fog of war and parted ways again.
Because of the "fog of war", the alliance's quasi-legends, who were somewhat confused, met their respective opponents again.
"Deliberately mystifying."
Even Elvin and the others, who had three wizards and should have extremely sharp spiritual senses, did not notice anything unusual.
In fact.
It was a [Secondary Benediction] sheepskin scroll personally written by a rank three bishop. It was Griffith's biggest trump card as the fleet commander this time, and also the church's strong support for this capable general.
It was different from the [Benediction] used by the archbishop, as well as the [Major Benediction] that only the pope could use. Those powers were comparable to miracles. The [Secondary Benediction] could only be used to copy any kind of divine art or witchcraft that did not exceed rank three. It was given to Griffith so that he could act according to the situation.
After the religious reformation, this method was almost the bottom line of the theocracy and the secular regime.
With the help of this scroll, they had quietly launched a harmless but extremely strange divine art.
[Concept Replacement]: Swap the extraordinary ability and perception of the two warships for a maximum of three days. From the perception of others to the outside, there is no flaw.
The general effect was that the "Dragonbreath Torch" could release various kinds of spells, and the "Longsnout Silvershark" could release dragon breath. The consumption was still the original power, and outsiders would not notice at all.
(Note: God is not the servant of man. No matter what he wants to do, it must be done by man. The power of God can only be used as assistance. Do not be insatiable.)
Because they knew very well that if they wanted to turn the situation around, they had to quickly break the current stalemate of the quasi-legends.
Of Shilius's three Quasi Legendary warships, the 'Red Maple' and 'Peak Knight Griffith' were the strongest in terms of overall combat power. The 'Flamingo' had the sharpest offensive power, and the 'Long-Snouted Shark' had the most varied means of attack.
On the alliance's side, the "Northern Cold Wind" and Lieutenant General Temple Elvis were recognized as the strongest. The "Five Masts Peak", which had five masts and a huge body, had the toughest bones. The "Storm Horn", which had just joined the battlefield, had many alchemy tools and was quite skilled.
The only way to win quickly was to create a crushing situation of the superior versus the inferior, and use the strongest "Red Maple" to launch a surprise attack to settle the battle!
